Why ES Tt

That rheumatism and neuralgia are so preva lent This question has not been satisfac- toriIy answered, but it is certain that these diseases are not only the most painful but among the most common, and some member of nearly every family in the land is the vic tim of one of these dread tormentors. La dies seem to be peculiarly liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the form of neuralgia headache, pain in the back, or nervous pains are of constant occurrence. Not until the discovery of Athlophoros had any remedy been found for either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous headache, and they were general ly conceded to be incurable, but Ath&ophoros has been proved to be not only a certain cure for these diseases, in all their varied forms, but a safe remedy. If, in the use of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely open, it's success is certain, and to aid thls, Athlophoros Pills are recommended, which, while providing the necessary cathartlc, will he found to be valuable aid to the action of the medicine. Athlophoros is no experi- ment. it has been tested and has proved it's wonderful efficacy.
 The Athlophoros Pills were originally pre- pared as a remedy for use in connection with Athlophoros for rheumatism and neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used in connection with that remedy they are certain cure for either of these very common and distressing diseases. They have also been found to be an invaluable remedy for any and all dis eases arising from vitiated blood or general debility They are especially valuable for nervous debility, blood poisoning, dyspep- sia, distress after eating, headache, constipa tion, loss of appetite, and all stomach or liv- CT troubles. For diseases of women they are invaluable. These pills are perfectly harm- less and may be safely used by adults or children.
 Testimonials of those who have been cured will be sent free on application.

GUANO MEN NETTLED.
A Prediction that the Brady Bill,
IfPassed, Will Cripple the Trade.

A Prediction that the Brady Bill,
IfPassed, Will Cripple the Trade.
The phosphate men are nettled by the
Brady bill, which was introduced in the
Legislature before that body adjourned.
Said one OF the dealers yesterday: "lf the
bill passes as it reads now it will serious
" injure the fertilizer trade in Georgia.
Manufacturers and commission mehwill
not sell to any one on credit undeT'such
a law as this bill proposes. The trade IS
handicapped terribly now by the inspec-
ton and branding laws. This bill proposes
to destroy the validity OF a promissory
note unless the crop from the guano is
Enthusiastically benefited. How is that to
be decided? Some planters would not be
satisfied unless their fertilizer made them
two bales to the acre. The effect will
simply be that the dealers will be COM
PEELED TO refuse all credit sales, and the
small farmers will be the sufferers while
their rich neighbors willpay cash and get
what guanO they want.
''Our firm intends to work up all tn @
trade outside of the State that it can and
let the home trade go, excepting, of
| course, the cash trade. Ii the bill passes
a reaction is sure to follow in little
! while, and the wisest way VIII be to wait
| for it. The credit system under the pro-
! posed law would cause so much litiga-
ton that all the profits in the trade would
| ha killed -

battery. He was charged with brutally
clubbing Il. Sullivan in Washington

claimed that he and a half dozen other
young men were lying down out in the
square laughing and joking when Morgan
came along and ordered them TO desist,
whereupOn the crowd began TO guy and
chat him. The policeman then arrested
sullivan and took him 10 the barracks.
Sullivan claims that in arresting him the
policeman dubbed him, when he had no
right to do so.
The policeman claims that the crowd
was so noisy and disorderly that lady
who lived in the BeighbOrhood called him
and asked him to stop the dlstur bance.
he then approached the crowd and or
dered them to be more quiet, when they
commenced TO jeer ana stone MIN. He
then attempted TO arrest sullivan, who re-
sisted TO such an extent that he WAS COM
PEELED to use his club to make him sub
nit.
Morgan was defended by Messrs. Gar
rard & Meldrim. After the jury hal been
out for some time one Of them, Mr.. George
&. Ulmer, was Withdrawn on account Of
sickness, and a mistrial was declared.
